Ok so I am cheating today, but I have good reason. I shot these a few weeks ago for the Colorado Justice Center Project job I received. They need my images to submit to a magazine..tomorrow (with notice of that this afternoon), that has the potential for the cover. Yes, that is super exciting to me, but when I was working on them, being the artist I am, I hate the images. I'm struggling. Thinking "should I be doing this?" "Am I over my head?" "Should I even be doing photography?" "Is someone going to find out I am a fraud?" All these questions of my insecurity with being an artist...or photographer, same thing in my head. So today I am struggling with being....me.
It's easy to understand your how a person can question their abilities when faced with a higher level than their norm. You are a talented artist and have no reason to doubt your abilities. In my opinion, your photos are well balanced, sharp images that tell a story. Drop that insecurity and just be yourself; your natural talent will save the day. Knock 'em dead!!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly not a fraud. You have a B.A. in Photography from the Art Institute of Colorado, but more importantly...you have a natural talent. I always enjoy seeing your work with the fresh perspectives and interesting angles that I wouldn't think to try. When you are having a day when it all seems wrong, just recognize it as nothing more than "a bad day". We all have them, and they come and they go. You are doing what you love, so keep doing it, and you will be amazed at the outcome.
